SCRAP 'N Stamp~ You Betcha!

Happy Friday Y'all! Super excited to share a couple makes for the

There are some crafty prizes along the way- $50 Gift Certificate to the Scrap N' Stamp Store and 7 Ephemera Packs...one for each stop on the hop! 

So happy hoppin'! :o)

We got to play with the Photo Play O' Canada products and omgeeeeee! They are so adorable!!

  

  

Cute EH? hehehehe

Up first is a card I made using the Stamp, die, Ephemera Pack with the Canadian Critters & Strong & Free papers.

I started with a piece of woodgrain DP from my stash and added circles I punched out from the Canadian Critters  paper using different sized circle punches.

I added some ephermera from the Ephemera Pack and created my little "Eh" banner. I added a Maple leaf I die cut using the Maple Leaf die and finished with some red twine.

I stamped the uber cute Beaver from the Stamp set onto Strathmore watercolor paper with Scattered Straw Distress Ink using my TH Platform. I then used Frayed Burlap, Vintage Photo & Walnut Stain Distress Inks to watercolor the image with a Waterbrush. I then die cut him out using the corresponding  die. I used the stamp again and stamped onto the  Strong & Free paper and fussy cut the vest out and adhered to my colored image. I finished him with some White Nuvo Drops.

And there we have the first card- ready for Canada Day! :)

Up next is the CAS Tag I made using the Maple Syrup & Strong & Free papers with  some of the Ephemera pieces.

I die cut a tag using STAMPlorations Stitched Tag die from  the Maple Syrup paper and then added a piece of the Strong & Free paper but using the red/white maple leafs side this time. The little patriotic Moose and Happy Canada Day Banner finished off my tag with a little button and twine from my stash.

Spotlight over at SK Digi's!! :o)

Hello my craftin' Friends!

I have the honour of being in the spotlight at SK Digis today! Sonia has the most adorable digi's; I just love working with them. So you can imagine how super excited I was when she asked me to do this GDT spot. Yep, I did a little Happy Dance! ;o)

I have made 2 cards for today. So let's begin with the first one...

I used  White Xmas Tree 3 & Snowgirl. As this was for a special friend who loves snowmen as much as I do, I went for her favorite color too.....Purple!

I colored the image with SN Markers and used stickles in an assortment of colors for the tree. Finished it off with gems, Snowflakes on a button for dimension and a little bow in the corner. 

Here's a closer look at the image:

Now, for my second card I used Merry Christmoose!  I won him a challenge a few months back and this was the perfect time to bring him out to play!

I smile everytime I see this one! hehehehe

Colored Mr. Moose in SN markers and used DP's from DCWV. Glossy accents for his eyes and white gellyroll pen for the highlights. Finished it off with the cute sentiment that comes with the digi, blue dew drops and a strand of christmas lights; like the one's he's got tangled up in his antlers. ;o)
